Re: Yamaha gladiator SS125 bike problem
Hmm, just try to remember that from when this problem has started, what have you done last time after which you are facing this problem,did you get your bike serviced or pressure washed it, any leakage from carb side, both of the filters can catch moisture it's not that foam filters are bad or paper filter are good.Becuase if you are facing this problem in rainy season only than most of the time the problem lies in moisture or water droplets entering the engine with fuel.Last edited by kusmaker; 06-09-2014, 07:55 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: Yamaha gladiator SS125 bike problem
AFAIK, the Glady(SS125) is a little inconsistent during rain and after wet wash. During rain, try to keep your bike in the lowest possible gear(like 2nd within 25 kmph, 3rd within 45 kmph). And if it rains, water will obviously be reaching to all parts but please do not pour/splash water on a warm/hot engine or any other hot parts of your bike. It may damage the engine.Originally posted by nsreepathy View Post
How much km.s have your bike clocked? If it's more than 10K, change the air filter.
Hope this helps you!Leave a comment:

Yamaha gladiator SS125 bike problem
Hi,
I am facing a strange problem in my yamaha ss125 gladiator model. In normal sunny days bike did not give any problems going fine.
When in rainy times, My bike starts and runs for sometimes (not more than 5 mins) and stalls after that like no petrol or no spark. If we use choke it starts immediately and when revving it is turning off ( turning off like a manual ignition switch off while running). After waiting and trying in 5 to 10 mins it again starts and no issues.
Tests i have done are, I just rode my bike for 10 mins, without switching off i poured water all over the bike but it doesn't stalls. when it is turing off i checked abt water in plug cable, carburetor and other parts and failed to found nothing. Guys help me on this.Leave a comment:

Hi Amit, almost all the Gladiator/SS125 riders are happy like you.
Yes, you can surely change the lights but the stock battery is not powerful enough to contain say LED/Projector lights. You need to initiate a full DC conversion and replacement of the stock battery to a more powerful one first.
Check out with a good bike mechanic with considerable electrical knowledge in your locality.Leave a comment:

Re: Yamaha Gladiator(All)
Dear Friends:
I have a Yamaha SS 125 bike 1.5 yrs old and have clocked 12000 Kms as of now. Pretty happy with it and no issues till now.
I need to know wether can we fix additional lights to the bike. Do i need to change the battery. If yes then which one to go for.
Any suggestions on lights and its placement?
Looking for something as in the attached picture..
Awaiting your response.

Check carburator setting.Air fuel mixture might be lean.Originally posted by cmahajan View Post
My cousin recently bought ss125.It has done 3200kms and had similar problem.Now after setting fuel mixture to optimum ,power gain is very high.
Check if something is blocking air to the air filter.

Re: Yamaha Gladiator(All)
Hi All,
My 2 yr old SS125 has clocked 8k Kms. It still doesn't feel like a Yamaha engine. The engine doesn't feel as free revving as usually Yamaha engines feel. I need to really squeeze the throttle to rev it past 4.5k rpm. I have been using the Yamalube 4T oil which the authorized service center uses. The bike was run in properly and I usually do not ride above 4.5k rpm but would like to rev the engine to about 5.5k rpm occasionally.
Is there something that can be done to free up the engine further so that it revs more freely?Leave a comment:

Re: Yamaha Gladiator(All)
Yes, the reason why I am thinking of switching to MRFs is because it comes as default with the Gladiator from Yamaha. I remember long back reading in an Auto-Magazine that Yamaha have worked with MRF, specifically to develop tyres for R15, FZ & Fazer Series & Gladiator. So I am basically in a dilemma about the switch.
But Michelins are wonderful I must say. Makes the riding experience so good, especially when I lean into corners I feel very confident and during hard braking too. The front tyre does an amazing job. Kind of Michelin fan at heart.
P.S. I had been to Chamundhi Hills in Mysore a few weeks ago, its full of twists and turns and that is where I got to feel it

Re: Yamaha Gladiator(All)
Back in my Gladiator days, I opted for a Dunlop Monster 100/90 18" and it did a great job as long as I had the Gladi. In your case, you can stick around with the Michelins, unless you are worried about running costs, as Michelins are a softer compound more prone to punctures. Why do you want to switch to MRF? Any particular reason?Originally posted by Akel View PostFellow Gladiators any help on this ?
